sorry about the double post larns

Ill forgive you this time Mick cos I did a google search myself a few days back and go tthe same thing. The dude's a bit wonky in the head if you ask me, but if he does post pics then we're all gonna have egg on our faces, I'll take mine with Daddy's brown sauce please.

yes larns dont you think if he had pics he would have posted them by now
personaly i still belive he,s full of bovine excrement as for eggs on our faces i dont think so
oh pics can be got from anywhere right regards mick

Maybe he hasn't got a camera? Not everyone does these days believe it or not. I'm learning towards him being full of sh*t too but I'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt till they start really taking the wee wee.

I found the exact sword he is saying he has, it aint true tamahagane as its from china not japan

The Daimyo Tamahagane blades are made using high-carbon Tamahagane iron sand, the traditional ingredient of the true Japanese sword. This sets our swords apart, as it is very rare for blades to be made outside Japan with this material. By sourcing our Tamahagane from China, we can create a superior product at a fair price.

The iron sand, through a low-temperature smelting process, combines with carbon to form fairly crude high-carbon ore. The resulting material is broken into smaller pieces that are sorted by carbon content. As much as half of the extracted material contains insufficient carbon for sword-making.

$2,450 for a 29" blade, the hamon looks alright and the pattern on the blade is alright, but the fittings are pretty boring IMHO.
